Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

A new study reveals that super agers over 80 have a distinct genetic edge. They are much less likely to carry the gene most ...

Results showed that super agers were 68% less likely to have the destructive APOE-ε4 gene, compared to people with Alzheimer’s in the same age range. They also were 19% less likely to have APOE-ε4 ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Copenhagen analyzed over 139,000 embryos and identified variants in key meiosis genes, such as SMC1B, that influence chromosomal ...

No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

The new molecules selectively reduced inflammatory signaling in human immune cells without affecting other immune pathways. Treatment with the molecules also reduced inflammation in mice with the ...

A genetic variant inherited from Neanderthals has been linked to reduced severity of Covid-19. Researchers traced the ...

The gene variant posing the greatest genetic risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is called APOE-ε4. A different ...

In a groundbreaking study published in the in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), scientists at Pacific ...

A novel genetic variant may be a driving force behind the development of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in some cases, according to researchers at the Mayo Clinic in ...

By studying genetic data from nearly 140,000 IVF embryos, scientists have with unprecedented detail revealed why fewer than ...
